anatomy CH11

QuestionAnswer
fascicles within a muscle are always parallel
fascicles arrangement within a muscle is not always parallel
the 4 types of skeletal muscles: parallel, circular, pennate, convergent
parallel muscles are ____ shaped, with a central body (___) spindle; belly
the most common type of skeletal muscles are parallel
parallel muscles ___ and become ___ in diameter during contraction shorten; larger
circular muscles are also called sphincters
circular muscles become ___ in diameter during contraction smaller
convergent muscle fascicles extend over a ____ area and ____ at one attachment site broad; converge
raphe slender band of collagen fibers
raphes are pulled on by convergent muscles
convergent muscles are good for adapting to different activities
the stimulation of different portions in a convergent muscle changes the direction the muscle pulls as a whole
when compared to a parallel muscle, convergent muscles are ___ strong when all fibers are pulling at once less
the fibers in a convergent muscle all pull in different directions
pennate muscles form a common angle with a tendon
when compared to a parallel muscle, pennate muscles pull ___ far less
pennate muscles have the most ____ due to their larger numbers of myofibrils tension
unipennate all fascicles are on the same side of the tendon
bipennate fascicles are on both sides of a central tendon
multipennate tendon within the pennate muscle branches
fulcrum fixed point that levers move on with applied force to overcome a load
joints fixed points that bones move on with muscular force to overcome a load
levers change (3) of AF 1. direction 2. distance and speed of movement 3. affective strength
regardless of the lever class, mechanical advantage is best when the AF is ___ from the fulcrum than the load farther
regardless of the lever class, mechanical advantage is worst when the AF is ___ to the load than the fulcrum closer
first class lever L-F-AF
first class lever example keeping the neck up (splenius capitis and semispinalis capitis)
second class lever F-L-AF
second class lever example back of leg (gastrocnemius)
third class lever F-AF-L
third class lever example arm (biceps brachii)
not every muscle is a part of a ____ lever system
effective force in increased at the expense of speed and distance
speed and distance traveled are increased at the expense of effected force
origin less moveable end
insertion closest to the body part being moved (moveable end)
if a muscle extends between a tendon and aponeurosis, the tendon is the ___ and the aponeurosis is the ___ insertion, origin
intermuscular septa deep fascia that separates adjacent muscles
tendinous inscription joins muscle fibers to form long muscles
agonist produces a movement
antagonist works against that movement
agonists and antagonists are functional opposites
synergist helps agonist work, mostly at the beginning. adds extra pull or stability at the point of origin
fixator type of synergist that assists the agonist by preventing joint movement elsewhere
anconc elbow
auricular ear
capitis head
cutaenous skin
glossal tongue
nuchal back of neck
oris mouth
palpebra eyelid
psoas loin
tibial shin
extrinsic outside a structure (stabilizes an organ)
intrinsic inside a structure (entirely inside an organ)
oblique slanted
profundus deep
rectus straight
biceps 2 heads
triceps 3 heads
quadriceps 4 heads
deltoid triangle
orbicularis circular
pectinate comblike
piriformis pear shaped
platysma flat plane
serratus serrated
splenius bandage
teres round and long
alba white
brevis short
gracilis slender
latae wide
latissimus widest
longissimus longest
longus long
magnus large
major larger
maximus largest
minimus smallest
minor smaller
vastus great
abductor away movement
adductor towards movement
depressor lowering movement
flexor bending movement
extensor straightening movement
levator rising movement
pronator pronating movement
supinator supining movement
tensor tensing movement
buccinator trumpeter
risorius laugher
sartorius like a tailor
geneion chin
plexus branching network or braid of nerves, blood vessels, or lymphatic vessels
hernia an organ protrudes abnormally through a muscular wall opening.
exercise causes blood vessels to dilate
